Martinstraße, 19053 Schwerin, Deutschland - On Thursday evening, Martinstrasse in Schwerin became the scene of a brutal attack. A man was attacked by three previously unknown perpetrators and injured himself on her head. The situation apparently escalated quickly because witnesses observed the argument and immediately alerted the police. But when the emergency services arrived, the people involved had already disappeared, which made the investigation significantly more difficult. This reports Bild .

The police have now initiated a procedure for dangerous bodily harm. The criminal police take the investigation very seriously and actively searches for information from the population. The officials ask everyone who were in Martinstrasse at the time or noticed something suspicious. Information can be given by phone on the number 0385 5180-2224 or by email to kk.schwerin@polmv.de . Anonymous information about the police online guard is also possible. For the citizens, it is assured that all information is treated confidentially. Schwerin-Lokal emphasizes that the identity of the perpetrators and the exact circumstances of the incident are of great importance for the investigation.

an increase in violent crime

The brutality of this incident is a worrying trend. According to the current police crime statistics (PKS) 2024, violent crime in Germany has increased by 1.5 % to 217,277 cases. This has been the highest level since 2007. It is striking that the numbers in particular have increased in suspicious children and adolescents. While the overall drug crime has decreased, certain crimes such as violence and sex offenses increase. This raises questions about the security situation in the cities and stimulates the discussion about possible prevention measures. The current figures come from BKA.

The police are all the more challenged to work with regard to these worrying developments. The incident in Martinstrasse not only causes excitement in Schwerin, but also raises the question of general security in urban rooms. It is therefore to be hoped that the perpetrators can be determined quickly by the help of the population and that the security in the city can be restored.
